Harassment

There's a kid at my school who's been harassing me every moment he gets. I have absolutely no idea why, as I don't even talk to this person. Now it's not just verbal either. We were playing floor hockey in gym today and he spent the entire game slashing, tripping, and body checking me when I didn't even have the puck. At one point in the game he through his stock to the ground and tried to get me to fight him, and I'm not even sure why. Then, when the teacher switched the game to dodgeball and we brought out the rubber balls, he would run to our teams side of the court get right up close to me and whip the ball at my head as hard as he could. He hit me with this five times and I've still got a huge welt on the side of my neck. Now I did some searching and I found out that I can actually charge him with criminal harassment for this.

What I'm wondering is when is the best time to threaten someone with legal charges? My current plan was to tell him straight up to stop. Then, if that didn't work, report every physical and verbal slight he makes against me to the teacher, and later vice principal. Then, if that still disn't work, threaten him with legal Charges. I'm think now though that maybe I should just tell him straight up that I can sue him and hope that stops him right away.

Thoughts?
 
make sure you got evidence and witnesses first. Which i'm sure you do lol.

I say go with pressing charges. He sounds like he is gonna think your bluffing anyways.

I bet if you threatened him he wouldn't care.

But you should give it a shot maybe he will get scared. but I doubt it.

up to you to end this. And you are already heading in the right direction.

He sounds a little crazy, just be careful. Doing something like that to him might make him blindly angry.
 
Well, I think I've got witnesses covered. By the end of gym class I had people on my team who went out of there way to stop him before he got to me, because, well... What the hell can you do when someone who abandons all the game rules tries to nail you in the face with a dodgeball. I have to admit, it was funny seeing my team AND his team nail him about eight times in a few seconds though.

I really DON'T want to have to take this to any type of court, but I value being able to live without looking over my shoulder over a bit of time in court.
 
I was bullied once when I was the new kid in my school many years ago, now I don't usually condone violence but sometimes a broken nose is just what one of those bullies needs. If your not a fighter, bullies usually have esteem issues so just find something out about them that they are insecure about and use it to your advantage.

If I retaliate, then I'm be in trouble too. No, I just need to keep taking the issue higher until, if necessary, he gets put somewhere where he can't come anywhere near me.
 
Ive never been bullied with punches and kicks and stuff, just orally, and I really just ignore them, since they have a few over used sentences like: "You lost your virginity to a box" "Your gay" ( The only reason they use that, is because I not, if I was they wouldn't)
And my favorite "Your stupid/annoying"

But if I was you, I would take a metal pole, and hit his dick, so hard, that it goes back into his body, and comes out as a vagina.

Just joking, but tell a teacher, and I could give better advice if I knew what grade your in.....

Was that really necessary?
 
You sound like your known for being a good kid which is good cause then you at least have that reputation with the teachers in case you defend yourself. All schools are different but I know back in my school, if you didn't stand up to this kid yourself, things only get worse. Knowing the legal system, your not gonna get far pressing charges either unless he really hurts you bad. I'm a smaller guy and I've been in your shoes before in those days so here's my advice that you can follow or not (Unless your think this is the type of kid who will hurt you with a weapon or puts you in any danger like that, go to an advisor) .

If this kid gives you problems again, stand your ground, show some backbone (even if your acually scared) and ask him what his problem is with you. See where it goes, sometimes they back off just from that. If he lays a hand on you, you gotta hit back. I also had the same worry of getting in trouble like you did but honestly the worst that happens is you get suspended for a few days which will not ruin your life, trust me. I'm only saying that cause I'm assuming you don't normally get into trouble so its not gonna hurt your rep or grades. I think school's are rediculous on how they handle bullying because they some how think their no tolerance policy stops it. My main point is to just stand up for yourself against this kid though.

P.S. I also understand your approach to the situation of having this kid being seperated from you and I do hope it works out. I'm just giving my advice because there's always more then one bully your gonna run into sooner or later, your not always going to have people to defend you and you don't want to go through life letting people walk on you. Either way I hope everything works out and this kid leaves you alone. Good luck!

I should probably mention that this kid also abuses alcohol and drugs.

@pgd42
I'm from Canada, so our legal system is a bit different. Besides, it's not so much about pressing charges as letting him know that I can press charges.
 
Personally for me, I'd fight back. But I would verbally abuse him. Make him fill like the piece of shit he is. And if he wants to fight back, fight dirty.
 
If you have not talked to him, I would. Just kinda like what the **** if you are feeling ballsy. The thing is retribution. Who will be the bigger man. Maybe you can become friends with him afterwards? I would address the situation, or the situation will continue. I would not resort to violence, that will get you nowhere, unless you know your're bigger, stronger, faster, and let him take the first hit. I would just be smart about it. Or just say hey, I want to abuse alcohol and do drugs with you, you will feel a little more open to talking then. Just be content, hold your ground, if they push you down, push them back. Always stand up, first I would address and talk. Don't cry behind his back to other people. Just see what the problem is. What does he have against you. You will eventually both grow up. I never did, but for future reference.
 
I'm not one to advocate violence, but I finally stopped getting teased in grade school when I dimmed a kid's lights with a right cross to the chin in sixth grade. Sometimes it's what you gotta do. Maybe you gotta take an ass whippin' but at the very least other bullies won't see you as an easy target.
 
I am curious, what grade are you and this kid in?

Same situation multiple times and yep I didn't always come out the victor lol I had a rough school and was one of very few white kids in it so if I didn't stick up for myself Idk how I would've survived. Its all about just getting people to respect you.

I have always had a way with words, I just don't feel the need to resort to violence. When I had to, I ripped my neighbors eyeball out, PM if you want that story.

you ever heard of body blows?

nevermind, thats probably not a good idea, just sweet talk the guy I'm going through the same thing you are I am thinking of getting a restraining order on a chick who wanted to be with me but found out I was already taken, and the hard way and wants to get revenge on me. She might even get me in all sorts of trouble, thank the Lord its thanksgiving break all week long and she can just get over it, so my advice is to sweet talk the guy. tell him that you have an xbox and a sh*tload of games and your own laptop, with google images safe search turned off and the premium Norton membership
 
I have always had a way with words, I just don't feel the need to resort to violence. When I had to, I ripped my neighbors eyeball out, PM if you want that story. But First choice, just talk to him, be the stronger man. Work with him and not against him, it is obviously him not you, so be smarter. But that is growing pains.
 
ok first make sure there is many other people around you, hopefully a teacher as well, then the next time he does anything to you tell him to grow up! let him know youre not 12 anymore. oh and have you spoke to his parents?
